I am a dash and you are a dot.

Well this was kind of a nice weekend. I did my last class for close to my heart. I will no longer be selling it. Just not feeling it anymore. It was sad because I love the girls in my class and they love coming but I said we still need to get together and just scrapbook, so we are gonna do that. I sold some of my old stuff to the girls and got enough to buy my plugs that I lost and now can replace. I also took my sister to go see Sweeney Todd...YUM! I freakin loved it! In case you dont know I love Tim Burton. He is the best director/artist out there. Of course I heart Johnny depp too. Helena Bonham Carter is super awesome so come on it was just wonderful. My sister loved it. We had a good time. I hear he is making a Alice In Wonderland! Oh cant wait!!!




My Paper Pixie kit was waiting for me when I got home that night...OH MY GOODNESS it was full of such beauty! Be still my heart. I made some stuff right away with it...




Valentines door hanging.


My mommy when she was a wee lass. Isnt she beautiful!


My uncle (Taco) Alvin. My real life peter pan.



I have more stuff to share but I think I will wait lol! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and if you havent seen Sweeney Todd you best get your butts in gear!

Life aint easy for a boy named Sue.

So I have been lazy...In fact lazy should be my middle name lol! I feel like I have a ton to do. The rain gets me down blah. Anyway I got my Scrapperie kit! WOOT! I broke right into it that night and made two layouts. This kit was super fun! I love all the love Elsie and the ki! I had to use a sketch for the first one.





I finished this one last night..


I love my sister and her pictures. Her pictures inspire me to make the pages I make. She is weird but so am I and I love that! You should never be ordinary unless there is extra in front!

Ok I need to do the next paper adventure challenge and Overlooked and finish my postcards from here challenge...Sheesh! I didn't even do the olw one. I started but couldn't finish.

Oh and the kit I am guesting on is up at QTEA kits and it is awesome! I mean when she makes these kits she totally picks things I love! The best part is they are super cheap!! Her shipping is even awesome! I cant say enough about these kits.

Looking for a sign.

Ok the new challenge is up at Mojo and our Guest girl is super awesome. If you haven't been over there yet pls go check us out. I have been doing a lot to the site to make it look a little cooler. I LOVED doing this challenge. I had so much fun trying to use only trash or as much as I could fit in lol! Here is my takes on this super fun one.







That book I love. I don't love my work usually but that book I am in love with lol! I don't care if anyone else loves it or hates it. The pages are a work in progress I still have a lot to do to them.

I so need to scrap. I haven't done anything since the overlooked book. I'm waiting on my Scrapperie kit and Im hoping it will come today...Oh and I can reveal who I am guesting for... Paper Pixie Kits! Yipee! She is sending me this months kit which is beautiful! I totally have the pics I want to use with it. I cant wait to get it. I think on Friday she said. Oh and my mommy bought me a typewriter!!! I love her! Its electric so it doesn't do cool things to the letters but I still love it. I want to find a manual one too. Hopefully our thrift store will have one.

So with that you think I would be over there scrapp'n using the thing...Nope my desk is such a mess I cant even scrap. My cats knock all my stuff on the floor and then when i pick it up I just throw it on the desk...Now it is utter mayhem over there. I don't even wanna look at it lol! Ok ok Im going in...wish me luck I come out alive!

Black hair and the devils pitch fork.

Lots going on it seems this year already. My horoscopes said this year was gonna be a good one for me and it seems to be going in that direction...I keep asking myself what my word should be for the year. The only one I found was sustain. I know not a exciting word or inspirational in anyway..But seriously i feel like if all i do is survive and get thru another year then its a good one. Last year was terrible in so many ways...On the other hand it was full of miracles. (My husband was in the hospital with a life threatening disease. It looked as though I was going to go thru life without him. That was hard. I couldn't imagine my life without him. Against all odds he DID make it and he DID recover. So 5 months out of last year spent worrying, loving, crying, and being relived. While in the middle of all this we find out his job (Hershey's) is no longer going to employ in America. Meaning they are moving it to Mexico. Talk about a stab in the eye! LOL! There is so many other things after that but Ill keep them to myself.) Thru everything we have persevered.

This year Ronnie will be going back to school and things will be tight and I'm sure we will run into some obstacles. That's life. I'm determined to get through them. Maybe my word should be determined...LOL!

Ok Maybe Ill think more on it. On to some scrapgoodness. I updated Mojo...Go check it and tell me what you think. Here is another page I did for the dt submission (that I'm sure I will not get so I'm not holding my breath lol)...


Yep that's me...naked! Why do our parents insist on taking these kind of pics? I know I'm not the only one with a pic like this. I had to cut the flower out of the fabric because I didn't want the whole world to see my goods. On that note... Hope you had a wonderful weekend and have a exciting week ahead!
